Swimmer of Rebirth

When Liu Yang woke up the next morning, his complexion was very bad. The pain in his right hand was constantly eroding his brain, and he couldn't even do a simple action like brushing his teeth.

Ye Shuwen spit out the foam in his mouth, fixed his gaze on Liu Yang's arm and asked, "What happened to your hand?"

"It hurts a bit, maybe I pulled it last night, it's okay." Liu Yang replied flatly, and simply moved the toothbrush to his left hand.

Ye Shuwen pinched Liu Yang's arm, and Liu Yang's mouth twitched, and he pulled out his hand, "It's okay, it will be fine in a while, isn't there a game in the morning? After packing up, go to dinner early, and you have to stay Time to digest and warm up."

Ye Shuwen nodded, and glanced at Liu Yang's arm before leaving the door.

Luo Xinhua came over during breakfast and brought Liu Yang, Ye Shuwen and Zhang Weijia together for a pre-match counseling session.

The main thing is to tell them not to be nervous, to swim as they usually do, not to put too much pressure on themselves, and forget it if they don’t get the shortlist for the World Championships.

Liu Yang nodded, listening and pinching his right arm unconsciously.

Luo Xinhua's sharp eyes saw Liu Yang's movement and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

The palm that Liu Yang was pinching stopped immediately, and he smiled naturally, "It's nothing, the muscles are a little tight, and it's much better now, it's nothing, Coach Luo, don't worry, it won't affect the game."

Luo Xinhua frowned with a stern face. When he looked up, he saw Yao Ye walking into the dining hall, so he beckoned and called him over, pointing at Liu Yang and saying, "You don't have a game anyway, Liu Yang's arm There is a problem with his muscles, you can massage him later."

Zhang Weijia and Ye Shuwen's expressions changed, as if they had eaten a fly.

What Liu Yang is most afraid of now is that Yao Ye knows this. Yao Ye reminded him when we parted yesterday. He was really flustered by this obvious behavior of disobedience. He hurriedly squeezed and waved his hands with a smile, "No, no, Don't bother Yao Ye, there's no need for someone to press it for you."

Who is Yao Ye?For people who have been immersed in swimming for more than 10 years, what sports injuries have they never seen?The eyes that fell on Liu Yang's face suddenly became sharp, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll massage him."

Luo Xinhua nodded, then looked down at the notebook and talked about the next thing.

300多个人参加排名赛，200米的比赛有64人报名参赛，400米的比赛是43个，800米和1500米的也就22个，而100米的短项比赛却是全员347个人报名。

Because the ranking competition is not just about competing against whichever one the swimmers like, the points of the whole ranking are ranked according to the overall timing of the four strokes, that is to say, the test is the overall performance of the swimmers.

And there is only one chance, one swim for each stroke, and the score cannot be known until the calculation of the score in the domestic swimming world.

As for the competitions over 200 meters, they were temporarily added due to the selection of the World Championships, so many athletes who participated in these long events will also sign up for the 100 meters competition at the same time.

Only 9 people in the entire Chinese swimming world have directly qualified for the World Championships, 6 for the women's team and 3 for the men's team, that is, star athletes who have won medals in the last world championship.

Of course, 9 people are not many. In international competitions, each country is allowed to send two players in each event, that is to say, a total of 12 swimming individual events plus the classification of men and women and two players in each event, a total of 48 swimmers. 9 places, not including the [-]m individual medley, men's and women's [-]x[-]m, [-]x[-]m freestyle relay, men's and women's [-]x[-]m medley relay, deducting the [-] directly selected places, there are still many opportunities to fight for.

Of course, 347 people vying for the remaining 30 places is still a bit cruel.

When Yao Ye went in behind Liu Yang and the others, the eyes of the swimming pool swiped and gathered, one by one, scanning this way like a searchlight.

Ye Shuwen, who was also accidentally swept, felt his scalp go numb, and there was some resentment in his gaze towards Yao Ye.

Yao Ye smiled awkwardly, who knows that now he is holding his own handle, so just pretend to be a grandson if it's not a big deal.

Liu Yang couldn't see it, and he was afraid that Ye Shuwen would say something he shouldn't say when he got excited, so he hurriedly hooked his neck and took a few strides to force him into the stands.

As soon as Liu Yang sat down, Zhang Weijia and Ye Shuwen sandwiched Liu Yang from left to right. Yao Ye took a step back and said to Zhang Weijia in a good voice, "Liu Yang's hand is uncomfortable, I have to help him press it." Press no?"

After all, Zhang Weijia was much more sensible than Ye Shuwen, so he stepped aside after thinking about it.

Just as Yao Ye sat down, his smiling face suddenly turned into that of Duke Bao, and he asked Liu Yang subduedly, "Did you go to another training session yesterday?"

Liu Yang nodded.

Yao Ye pulled Liu Yang's arm over gently, and then withdrew his strength when he started massaging, starting from the shoulder and kneading in a circular motion, winding all the way to the wrist, and then turning into pinching, pinching all the way When it reached the top, it turned into beating again. Seeing Liu Yang's face was blood red from pain, his heart sank a little, "It hurts?"

"Is it okay? I'll find out when I warm up." Liu Yang gritted his teeth and glanced at Ye Shuwen guilty. Seeing Ye Shuwen's lethargic expression looking at other places, he let go of the last string in his heart.

"During this period of time, your extra training is very unreasonable. Last time I noticed it in the training room. It looks like it's neither serious nor heavy. It's a combination of work and rest. Not only I said it, but you coach Luo said Have you done it hundreds of times? Ye Shuwen knows this, but you can't figure it out?" Yao Ye said, and the strength in his hands increased a bit.

Ye Shuwen didn't seem to care, but his ears were erect all the time. When Yao Ye mentioned that he didn't care whether he praised or belittled, he choked up, "What's wrong with me? Why use me as an example? Since you already knew Why didn't you remind Liu Yang? Now is the time to put an afterthought."

Liu Yang and Yao Ye looked at him together, and silenced at the same time, knowing that Ye Shuwen would not be able to adjust his mentality for a while, so why don't we hide?

Ye Shuwen was bored, and felt quite boring, but since he found out about the relationship between Liu Yang and Yao Ye, he suddenly found that Yao Ye, who was so pleasing to the eye, had become hideous, and his heart burst into anger for no reason. Keep your mouth shut.

Luo Xinhua got a number plate from under the stands and came up. One was issued by hand, and the numbers were relatively low. Liu Yang's was 277, Ye Shuwen's was 278, and Zhang Weijia's was 279.

Yao Ye explained that the players of the national team have always been arranged at the back in order to allow each player more time to prepare. That's the finale, isn't it?

Yao Ye also said that he once got the last number plate, and the last game was not played until 10:[-].

Liu Yangsan is not ashamed, is he boasting that he is the finale?

Yao Ye grinned and hit Liu Yang on the back of the head.

Ye Shuwen and Zhang Weijia wisely shut up this time.

Obviously there are so many people in the swimming pool, these two people are sitting next to them, but they seem to be surrounded by an invisible aura, there is a feeling of being excluded, unable to squeeze in and unable to see through, it belongs to those two people alone world.

Looking back now, those behaviors that Liu Yang and Yao Ye thought were normal in the past suddenly came to light. Make a bright light bulb inside.

What is wrong with this world! ?

The game starts at 8:[-].

It takes 3 minutes for each game from entering the arena to finishing the match, and the whole schedule is fast-paced.

A little after 10 o'clock, it was Liu Yang's turn to enter the game.

Liu Yang, who had just come out of the warm-up pool, stood wet in front of the third track and glanced left and right.

On the left is Zhang Haitao, a first-line athlete of the national team, 21 years old, 1.86 in height, with tangled and solid muscles lying across his body, and his skin seems to be full of explosive power.

On the right is Ye Shuwen, 15 years old, participating in the adult competition for the first time, with a height of 1.78, uniform muscle texture, stretched limbs, and a slender figure.

On the right is Zhang Weijia, 17 years old, 1.84 in height, with a good figure, a little solider than Ye Shuwen, and also belongs to the thinner type.

As for him, Liu Yang, he is 15 years old, with a height of 1.77, with muscles and body shape... he is not the same as Ye Shuwen.

After the identification, Liu Yang flicked his sore right hand and set his target on Zhang Haitao on the left.

There is an unwritten rule in swimming and track and field racing competitions. Try your best to swim well. If you know that the opponent is better than you, you must cling to the person in front of you. Don’t be discouraged or anxious. , looking for any opportunity to overtake.

The first competition is still the 100-meter freestyle, which is Liu Yang's strong point.

Liu Yang has never been so fortunate for this arrangement. While his arms are still working hard, he minimizes the time in the 100-meter self-swimming strength to cope with unforeseen consequences in the late stages of a day's continuous competition.

The broadcast was reporting the track, Liu Yang loosened his shoulders, turned his neck, and turned his head to look at Ye Shuwen. It was a face full of energy, like a small animal participating in hunting for the first time, eager to try and full of high spirits. fighting spirit.

The whistle sounded for everyone to take their positions, and Liu Yang stepped onto the platform.

Taking a deep breath, he bent down slowly, clenched his teeth, tensed his muscles, and looked solemn and focused.

At this moment, the soreness in the arm is no longer important, and the mind is attracted by the upcoming game.

Liu Yang admits that he likes competitions, and he likes this moment of witnessing himself after continuous hard work. Stepping on the starting point will always make his blood boil and his emotions will be excited.

preparation……

The body is bent down, and the leg muscles are tensed.

Head slowly raised.

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out.

Hook your toes to the edge of the platform, push hard from the base of your thighs, and jump out.

It shot out like an arrow that left the string.

Into the water!

After breaking out of the water, he continued to stroke six times, crossing his legs and kicking.

Then breathe on your side.

The head is buried in the water again, and the air in the lungs is slowly exhaled in the fast swimming.

Liu Yang used all his strength almost as soon as he got out of the water.

In fact, there is no possibility of staying strong in the 100-meter short-distance race. Strength, water sensation, explosive power and super physical endurance are the goals of his swimming training for so many years.

Liu Yang's performance was very good, and he was the first to lead the swim after almost getting out of the water.

It's not that the first-line adult player is inferior to him, but that Zhang Haitao's main event is not freestyle.

Moreover, Liu Yang's freestyle performance in China is very good. The national team has invited him several times in a row because of his freestyle potential, and his understanding of strength in the World Youth Championship has greatly improved his freestyle again.

Of course, the disadvantage of Liu Yang's age is still there, but who can guarantee that the younger will definitely lose to the older?There have been more than one international competitions where a 15-year-old has defeated a well-known national swimmer to win a gold medal. What's more, this is just a national competition?

Yes, Liu Yang's results are very good, leading all the way, entering the water, exiting the water and turning are very good, almost perfect, until the final sprint stage...

At the last 15 meters, he took a right breath, and the soreness in his arm that Liu Yang almost forgot swept his brain without warning!

Liu Yang's complexion changed, he choked on a mouthful of water, and his whole body almost stopped completely.

Although the pause was short, Yao Ye, who had been paying attention to Liu Yang, keenly sensed Liu Yang's discomfort. The hand placed beside him was tightly clenched into a fist, and his knuckles turned white.

A pause, a gap of 1 second, is fatal enough.

What's more, Liu Yang was choked up.

The body trembled violently and endured the desire to cough, and the lungs hurt as if being grabbed by a big hand, but he did not dare to stop the water stroke.

His body was heavy, as if countless hands were pulling him down, and his vision turned black.

In the last 15 meters, Liu Yang didn't know how he swam down, other than gritted his teeth and carried it with willpower, his mind was blank.

Until finally hitting the shore...

Liu Yang hugged the waterline tightly, the world in his eyes was constantly spinning, darkness and light were intertwined, he took a big mouthful of breath, only relying on his willpower to keep himself from passing out, he had no intention of checking the results of the game.

Ye Shuwen swam over to help him, but Liu Yang softly swung him away.

He supported the edge of the pool to get up the water.

He glanced at the scoreboard on the big screen as he got into the water.

No.1是在第8道的国家队队员严建华，No.2是2道的张海涛，而他在No.3，仅比张维佳快了0.02秒。

Disappointed?Liu Yang admitted that he was very disappointed. If he hadn't forgotten the soreness in his arm and had been mentally prepared, perhaps the No.1 in this group would be his.

Of course, No.1 in the group is nothing compared to so many participating athletes, but this kind of energy gives him hope and allows him to continue to grit his teeth and persevere.

When Yao Ye rushed to the locker room sullenly, he said directly, "Liu Yang, don't participate in the next game."

Liu Yang's hand that was pulling the zipper stopped for a moment, and then slowly pulled it up again. The sound of the zipper filled his ears, a bit dull.

Hearing this, Zhang Weijia raised his head and looked at Yao Ye, "Is Liu Yang really that serious?"

Yao Ye didn't answer, but just stared at Liu Yang, his eyes were stained with blood, and he felt an unconcealable heartache.

He grabbed Liu Yang's hand and squeezed his wrist fiercely, "Did you hear that, you can't continue the game in your current state, if you don't want to be unable to use your right hand in the next month, just leave with me."

Liu Yang looked up at him with flat eyes, and asked lightly, "Is there any difference?"

"Let me tell you Liu Yang, what I'm talking about is light. If you don't take a good rest, the worst case is prolonged fatigue. Do you not want hands?"

"If I'm not worse than finishing this game, you know, I want to enter the World Championships! I must enter!"

Yao Ye stared at him, his chest heaved violently, and the hand at his side finally clenched into a fist.

Just when Ye Shuwen and Zhang Weijia thought Yao Ye would punch Liu Yang...

Yao Ye's body bent down suddenly, and he directly carried Liu Yang on his shoulders.
